Book Reviews of Stranger In Paradise (Jesse Stone)
Book Review: Disappointing Read:Waste of time and money.
Summary: 1 Stars
This was the worst Jesse Stone novel to date, though I thought the one before it, High Profile was bad. This one is worse. I agree with other reviews that this one is a big dissapointment, unusual novel for Jesse Stone, and way too far-fetched and out there. It is definitely an unbelieveable read.
Imagine the police chief that is holding onto his career for it is the only thing he has. He risks his career and his life not only to help out a hardened criminal that is running around Paradise and asks for his help, but also helping out a punked out, slut 14 year old girl that had her own mother killed. Then to top it off, he accepts a million dollars into his bank account for the girl to be taken care of. Think the bank manager in a small town like Paradise isn't going to spread the word: and assumptions about their police chief being dirty won't abound?
This is one horribly written book. I think the author must have run out of ideas, or he just had to write anything to fulfill his contract. I love the Jesse Stone novels. Sure, the character is flawed, but he's real. In this particular novel he is just a caricature of the character readers enjoy. I enjoyed. Not to mention that I've grown very tired of the on again/off again Jesse/Jenn in every book. Jesse and his ex-wife have nothing to do with one another in the beginning of each book, but by the end of each book, they're back together again like an old, happily married couple. What's the deal here. Talk about far-fetched. Get over the slut already, Mr. Parker and Jesse.
This book for me and its predecessor mean the end of reading any more Jesse Stone novels. Two bad books in a row don't have to fall on my head. Fortunately, I borrowed all these books from a local library. If I had to pay to read this one, I would have been very upset. Want to read a good book, stay away from this one. This one isn't it.
